When would be a good time to change the world? Now. Let’s take a lesson from our current situation: governments CAN move fast, solidarity and human interaction ARE a big deal, our planet DOES respond quickly to the decrease of human pollution, we really CAN be happy living and consuming more slowly and deliberately. When we get back to our ‘normal’ lives, let sustainability, equality and compassion be the NEW NORMAL. Until then: stay home, stay safe. ✌️

Design and words by yours truly, Sarah Schrauwen.
